The past two weeks flew by like crazy – well, for me it did, since we were on vacation.  The saying is absolutely true – time flies when you’re having fun.  Of course the past two days weren’t as much fun, what with the whole driving like maniacs and all.  As in, I drove the whole way – like a maniac.  If you weren’t on the road over the weekend, it was probably a good thing, since I was driving maniacally.  Ahem.  But now we’re back, and it’s back to reality – but it’s also back to my favorite of all pastimes, blog-hopping.  Funny that just a few years ago ‘blog-hopping’ was not really a pastime, or even a regular thing to do, really.  Amazing how things have changed so much in the past few years, isn’t it?

Being that it’s Monday, and I’ll be in foggy-brain syndrome all day long while recovering from the long road trip, readjusting my internal vacation clock back to ‘normal’ and getting the loads of laundry done, what better way to delve right back into the whole blog-hopping fun but with some great music?  This week’s theme is something military/patriotic or a Broadway Tune – I’m opting for patriotic myself.  You’re welcome to join in the fun – details below. 

Why don’t we start off with Toby Keith and his song, “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue”:

This next one brings some major goosebumps and chills – Tim McGraw with “If You’re Reading This”:

Even bigger chills are brought with Trace Adkins “Arlington”:

Let’s finish things up with an upbeat song by Brooks and Dunn, “Only In America”:

Enjoy your Monday!

Before you go, Princess Nagger insists (with a please) that you watch one more video and leave a comment for her (and potentially win 2 bags of Sugar Free Ring Pops):

  6. Stacy-first of all, thanks for coming by. The videos made me tear up because my brother is currently serving. Great choices.

  7. I love Brooks and Dunn and Tim McGraw is probably my favorite male country singer! What a sad song he sang! Oh dear! Arlington made me cry too!!!! Good picks, even if they did make me cry.
